AOTY 2023

Yes! I am having the same issue. has been ongoing for a while. I used to be able to get into AOTY by using Edge. Now that is not working either.
Making it very difficult to perform my duties as coordinator.

For the longest time, I couldn't access NWKA or AOTY on my phone, only on my laptop. All of the sudden, I can access NWKA on my phone, but not AOTY, and can't get either on my laptop now.

I got duckduckgo, as suggested by Merz, and now I can access AOTY.  Before I could not get it with Chrome or Edge.

I don't know why it's working differently for different people.

I can tell you that it is working fine for me on Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, both on Windows 10. AFAIK I don't have any weird settings or anything.

I'll ping the site admin again. I'm sorry I can't help directly.

Regarding AOTY 2023:

As others have mentioned, big congrats to Nobaddays on a well-earned first place finish! When he got that monster bull trout early last year I had a feeling he was going to get on a roll. That said, he really worked for a lot of those points and put in the time.

It was great getting to know SD2OR and kemfish, too - more great competitors and man they grind for points! I also really appreciate talking with Jim who helped me on my quest to be a better walleye angler. Of course, there are a ton of others here I should recognize too, like merz, Casey, and Jed, all of whom have really helped me improve.

And, of course, it was fun fishing with everyone at the Brownlee and Sunset Bay tourneys, and the fall walleye social.

As for my year, I'm really happy with where I landed. I was able to spend more time fishing in 2023 than previous years due to life's circumstances, and I'm really glad I took advantage of it, because it's looking doubtful I'll be able to fish as much this year. 1820 is my best finish ever, and I doubt I'll top it any time soon.

So many good fishing memories from the year. I wouldn't have believed it if you'd told me I'd register 3 different types of salmon in one year, or that I'd score over 1800 without a single 200+ point fish. My lingcod was my most prized fish of the year, but my pink salmon and rainbow trout were also special to me. I was also psyched to get a late-season 18" smallmouth in cold water.

Like I said, I may not be able to fish as much this year, but I'm still going to give it a go and see what magic happens on the water. Looking forward to seeing y'all out there!

Just a quick update that bsteves has been working on the AOTY issue where some people are getting a 404 error, so keep trying and hopefully it will clear up for people.

Hey Lauren, can you please send me a list of the places with names? I need to overall, fly angler, and any youth entries please?

AOTY is working for me in Chrome now, for the first time in about 6 months. Hopefully it's fixed for everyone.

Good job everyone in 2023!  Some really amazing fish caught. My goal was to get 10 species on the fly rod. I only got 9, but crappie and bluegill count as the same for aoty, so I'm going to call it a success anyway. I'll probably go with the same plan next year. If anyone is looking for a new challenge, I definitely recommend picking up fly fishing.

I can access both pages on my phone now. Thanks to whoever fixed it!

Thanks to whomever fixed this. Looks like  AOTY 2024 is already underway.

I am very grateful to whomever fixed the AOTY page! Thank you!

Now I would like to apologize for being late on getting prizes shipped out. I did get them all lined out last night. January was a rough month for me. The last 1 1/2 years I have been working from home and my best friend (Dog) Charley would lay by feet or on the love seat beside my desk and supervise my work. It was so wonderful to work next to her day in and day out. During the course of 2023 she went down hill pretty fast. She also started losing a battle with cancerous tumors. I knew it was going to be rough on me, but honestly I had no idea how bad it would be to say good bye to her.

Anyway... Now lets get to fishing! Gets signed up for AOTY! LETS GO!!

Sorry about your loss Drifter.  I know the feeling.  Aug of 23 was when we had to make the decision.  Making me sad right now thinking about it.  She was a great dog.

Thanks for sending out the prizes.  I know everyone appreciates your effort in everything prize related. 

I'm off to make a HOW donation and get myself entered for 2024.  Beware, tiny fish competitors! I'm tying up some #24 flies and dusting off the Zero weight.

If anyone from previous years has moved, I need an updated address to ship your prizes. The only person I don't have anything on is Billfishing. So, Billfishing, if you read this please pm me your name and address.

Thank you!
